"Better than expected. Beautiful property. Room was very clean. Dog friendly option was perfect. Bed was comfortable. Pillows were great. The fridge worked well to keep out food fresh. Easy to walk to dog. "
"We booked this place based on some "excellent" reviews and "good" ratings.
Upon arrival we were shockingly surprised by the dilapidated state of the building and its surroundings, which rather fits the description of a ghost town in the middle of nowhere.
Reluctantly we stepped in the lobby to be received by a wave of stagnant air, as if no one had opened the door in a hundred years. Not to mention the adverse respiratory reaction this unhealthy atmosphere triggered on my travel partner.
The front desk lady was nice and sweet. Since we quickly realized that we were not going to spend a single night in such a filthy and dilapidated place, we thanked her for sharing some haunting stories about the place's famous guest, and left. Leaving behind a cloud of dust never to look back again...
We are aware that not all travelers are looking for the same kind of experience, but it is beyond my comprehension how a place that lacks some basic amenities and is in such a state of disrepair can be even listed as a lodging option.
Needless to say that our trust on Expedia as a travel advisor has been very disappointing by this experience to say the least.

"Very surprised by the lovely upgrades
To the rooms. And the little amenities -like the pillow spray, etc., were very nice. The Internet in our unit was not working so that was disappointing, but we very much enjoyed our stay. We highly recommend. And explore the walking trails in the small town. Wonderful.! "
"It was dirty and misrepresented. It was a guest house, the owner was outside in the morning so we couldn’t even suntan like we wanted. No amenities, the house was so cluttered we had to put everything in a closet to be able to have somewhere to put our suitcases. There was cheese on a cheese grater in the utensil drawer and the handheld blender was dirty and had been used. It was the most dissappointing stay my family and I have experienced. Not worth the price AT ALL. If I hadn’t had paid so much here we would have stayed somewhere else the last two nights because it was nothing like it was said in the description. The host was nice "

What are holiday rentals like in Shoshone?
Holiday rentals are privately owned properties you can book for a few days, or a quick weekend, in Shoshone. Holiday rentals provide amenities such as patios, hot tubs and fire pits so you'll have all the comforts of home. If you're concerned about cleanliness, a holiday rental can provide a sense of security away from public hotel lifts and busy reception areas while still allowing you the experience of travel.
